Eduard Kettner Drilling Hammer Rifle 16 ga over 8 x 48R - Made in Germany

Eduard Kettner was founded 1884 in Coeln am Rhein (up to 1919 it was written Coeln, later Koeln).
Kettner has had factories in Coeln and Suhl.

This Drilling was proofed past 1902 and before 1912 as far as we can see.
Crown over G and U are the proof marks. The barrels are made from Krupp Stahl (steel).
The side lever is to open the gun, the top lever is to select the rifle barrel.
When it's cocked, the front trigger is for the rifle barrel. This system was invented by Henry Pieper.

Serial # 6345 is matched on this Eduard Kettner Suhl Sidle lock hammer drilling.
16 Ga double shotgun over 8 x 48R rifle barrel.
The shotgun has 2 1/2 inch Chambers with a Set trigger for rifle. Oil finished walnut stock with cheek
rest and checkered horn butt. and smaller sling swivels.
We believe that shells can be made using 30-30 Win brass.

Condition. Very good with fine engraving all over. The barrels are retaining about 50% bluing.
The Receiver & locks are toned to silver color.

Stocks remain full sized with LOP at 14 inches from front trigger.
Mechanically appears all fine.

Barrels are 27 inches long and Bores are Fair. Shotgun barrels have streaks and Rifle barrel is quite dark.
Would clean up way better with through scrubbing.

A fine high grade German collectible gun.
